You will find the planet Saturn located in the constellation of Virgo (The Virgin) in the South Eastern sky, 10 degrees to the Moon’s upper left.
The constellation of Virgo (The Virgin) is the second largest of all the constellations. It lies on the celestial equator between Leo and Libra. Virgo has some interest to contain the nearest large cluster of galaxies – The Virgo Cluster.
You won’t see them well placed tonight due of the bright Full Moon, but remember that area to observe for later in the dark skies, and the best seen for The Virgo Cluster from around April 10th till around May 22nd.
See the SkyMap and Star Chart Atlas.
